JetPCL® Software Developer : requirements

JetPCL Software Developer is available in many different configurations of features.
Options include Platform, PCL emulation level, Input file types, Output file types, and other features.
The following is a list of some of the available options along with technical details.
Which features are activated in your product will depend on licensing.

Some PCL escape codes are not currently supported. Some are unrelated to document imaging,
while others are not commonly used in the field.

Output formats:

Adobe PDF (readable by
any of the Acrobat products)

TIFF Class-F (this is a very common file format
for Faxing or Archiving)

CCITT T.6 (standard Group 4 Fax data compression)

CCITT T.4 (standard Group 3 Fax data compression)

Standard DCX (this is
basically a multi page PCX file)

Standard PCX (one page per file)

Standard BMP (one page per file)

HP-PCL (output that is ready for sending to a PCL printer)

Postscript (output that is ready for sending to a Postscript printer)
Output image resolution is available in 200, 400, 300 or 600 dpi.

Input formats:

HP-PCL (input that has data ready for sending to a PCL printer)

TIFF Class-F (this is a very common Fax file format)

CCITT T.6 (standard Group 4 FAX formats)

CCITT T.4 (standard Group 3 FAX formats)

Standard DCX (this is basically a multi page PCX file)

Standard PCX (one page per file)

Input formats are limited to appropriate image sizes, monochrome
color and supported compression methods. Generally speaking, JetPCL will accept
as input the same type of files as it produces as output.

JetPCL System Requirements:

Between 3 and 6 Mb of memory during execution depending on the
output dpi requested. This is configurable using the -b switch. If memory is
not available a disk based swap file will be used.

Data files:

JetPCL uses and creates support files to perform its functions.
By default JetPCL uses the following support files:

JETPCL.CFG - Configuration file

JETPCL.CTL - Control file

MT\*.* files - Microtype typeface files

SFT\*.SFT files - Softfont files

MAC\*.MAC files - Macro files

PAT\*.PAT files - Pattern files

SYM\*.SYM files - Symbol Set files

SYM\*.TRN files - Text Translation files

These figures are general and might vary among platforms and feature sets.
Also, some of these are optional and might be discarded in situations that have
limited resources and require a smaller footprint.
